As spring bows out and summer begins, the James Smith Noel Collection is opening a new exhibit that showcases not only the floral beauty of the rose, but also its historical and cultural significance. Come see our collection of materials from the 17th through the 20th centuries that not only showcase the stunning beauty of roses but also their influence, including a look at the English Civil War known as the War of the Roses; literary works inspired by roses and gardens; and a view of the rose window in Gothic architecture.
